    Mickey Rourke at the Oscars, February 22, 2009

    Mickey Rourke brought his beloved Loki to the Oscars in spirit last night with a necklace by Betina Wassermann.  Very sweet.  Sorry you didn't win, Mickey.
    If you're looking for a way to accessorize with your loved one you can order a custom made necklace from Betina's Wicked World Etsy Shop.  Additionally,  this post has some of my favorite dog art necklaces.  And don't forget about Art from Ashes beautiful new jewelry line too.

    Read the story about Betina's Oscar night surprise here.  Awesome!

    We send condolences to Mickey Rourke who this weekend lost his longtime companion, Loki his 17-year-old Chihuahua whom he thanked in his Golden Globe speech for always being there for him.

    Also, I spotted an excellent Peta ad on a billboard in West Hollywood yesterday starring Rourke and one of his other dogs, Jaws.  I don't know how it is in your neighborhood but LA is filled with people (dudes especially, sorry but it's true) who refuse to neuter their dogs.  I think this ABC (Animal Birth Control) campaign is brilliant…

    And finally, if you need a good laugh about our economy watch this parody of The Wrestler by the guys at Funny or Die.  It's caled The Uncler, as in Uncle Sam, a down on his luck former star desperate to make a comeback.  Enjoy!


    Good luck at the Oscars, Mickey.       If you win, maybe it will be a good omen for Uncle Sam too!

  • Mickey Rourke Thanks His Dogs At Golden Globes

    I fell in love with Mickey Rourke in Diner.   It’s nice to see him back and it’s nice to see dogs getting the recognition they deserve.

    Rourke has 7 Chihuahuas including Loki, his 16-year-old constant companion.
